Needs improvement flag

  • Needs improvement
    • A community-specific reason (Until I actually clicked on it I though this meant that the question was supposed to go on another site in the Stack Exchange network, didn't even know there were more options inside)
      • Not about programming or software development
      • Seeking recommendations for books, tools, software libraries, and more
      • Needs debugging details
      • Not reproducible or was caused by a typo
      • Not written in English
      • Blatantly off-topic
      • This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network

In "A community-specific reason"'s description we have "This question doesn’t meet a Stack Overflow guideline." why not make the title "Does not follow guidelines"?

Why are these reasons under "Needs improvement" when there's really nothing to improve? All final reasons seem to imply that the question should be closed deleted or moved. Except maybe:

  • Needs debugging details (Actual improvement)
  • Not reproducible (Actual improvement if it means that there's an error but not the error OP asked about, or an error that has to do with environment discrepancies, people can still help with those) or was caused by a typo (so no need to improve the question, there's no error anymore)
  • Not written in English (I guess translation is an improvement)

Also why not change the radio button for options that hide more options inside so it is visibly apparent that there are more options inside?
